The horse thinks that the owner gives it all its needs because he loves it like his sons. So why are the sons at home while it is in the stable? It is because it will make the house dirty. This is why the owner places it outside the house in its designated place (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 82, “A Horse to Ride On”).

Question: How can I understand what my “horse” (my desire to receive) needs to serve in the best possible way?

Answer: You must take the reins in one hand and the whip in the other to get the horse’s attention, indicating that you will only fulfill its correct intentions and desires. In this way, you will compel it to act solely for the master’s sake.

You stand between the horse and its master, you constantly direct the master’s attention to the horse so that the horse knows precisely why it is working.

Comment: From what I understand, it is essential to maintain a certain distance so the horse can appreciate the small things and does not get used to receiving everything all the time.
My Response: Yes, that is why you must hold the reins, headstall, and bit to control the horse correctly.
